Egypt's Waning Influence
“This is a fascinating read into Egypt's Waning Influence - http://nyti.ms/bKxf5S”http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/05/opinion/violent-islamism-has-failed.html?scp=3&sq=muslim%20brotherhood&st=SearchNothing found.
These folks run the country of Egypt.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood
The Muslim Brotherhood started off as a religious social organization, preaching Islam, teaching the illiterate, setting up hospitals and even launching commercial enterprises. As it continued to rise in influence, starting in 1936, it began to oppose British rule in Egypt.[9] Many Egyptian nationalists accuse the MB of violent killings during this period.[10] After the Arab defeat in the First Arab-Israeli war, the Egyptian government dissolved the organisation and arrested its members.[9] It supported the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, but after an attempted assassination of Egypt's president it was once again banned and repressed.[11] The MB has been suppressed in other countries as well, most notably in Syria in 1982 during the Hama massacre.[12]
The MB is financed by contributions from its members, who are required to allocate a portion of their income to the movement. Some of these contributions are from members who work in Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich countries.[13]

2011 revolution and after
Following the 2011 Egyptian revolution and fall of Hosni Mubarak, the group was legalized.[45] The Brotherhood supported the constitutional referendum in March which was also supported by the Egyptian army and opposed by Egyptian liberals.[46] In 30 April 2011 it launched a new party called the Freedom and Justice Party, which reportedly plans to "contest up to half the seats" in the Egyptian parliamentary election scheduled for September 2011.[47] The party "rejects the candidacy of women or Copts for Egypt's presidency", but not for cabinet positions.[48] Some splinter groups have appeared in the wake of the revolution.[49]
No peace.

Britain Taxed the Rich. Then What? - Room for Debate
“Britain Taxed the Rich. Then What? - Room for Debate - http://nyti.ms/rlxIAk”
Interesting.
There are no pro tax opinions presented here.
It would appear that there are no statistics
on the results of the rise in tax rate.
All of the presented arguments are speculative or
otherwise incomplete.
The question is not argued from facts.
I suggest that the Times get some facts and present them.
I have not seen a new surge of wealthy British emigration.
I know of no way to maintain a high earned income remotely.

Texas Judge Seeks Speedy Trials in Rape of 11-Year-Old ...
Speedy Trials Sought in Texas Rape Case ... in late July for 14 men accused of repeatedly raping an 11-year-old girl last fall in Cleveland, Tex. ... - "At the request of the district attorney, the judge has issued an order barring lawyers, family members and law enforcement officials from talking to reporters."
"In 2011, 19 suspects were arrested for repeated gang rapes of an 11-year-old girl after identification from cell phone video they recorded of one incident.[5][6] It is suspected that several more may be involved.[7] The incident, which was reported in the national media, caused much consternation and division in the town. Relatives of the alleged child rapists and some other citizens were quoted in early media reports blaming the victim,[8][9] and the victim's family was harassed,[10] but the New York Times was also criticized for presenting the town's reaction with an overly negative slant.[11][12][13] and the Times subsequently published a clarification. Latino community groups expressed displeasure at New Black Panther Party activist Quanell X's blaming of the victim for her rape.[14] Individual trials of the alleged rapists are to start in early October of 2011.[15] As of 16 November 2011, three of the perpetrators have made plea deals admitting their guilt.[16]"

A Variety of Methods Can Be Used to Tap Into Phone Messages
“A Variety of Methods Can Be Used to Tap Into Phone Messages - http://nyti.ms/r9ru8h”
I am a believer in the "Purloined Letter". It does not work for voice mail.
The sender must put it where the receiver can find it. Snail mail has an "Expectation of Privacy" that disposes of legal invasions.
It has anonymity of initiation if not of reception. The post office delivers if it can. Send me a "Dead drop" The comment stream on an anonymous blog would do well if that much security is required.

Markets slide further on eurozone fears

Share prices in the US and Asia have slipped further on anxiety at the seemingly unsolvable eurozone crisis.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index was down 1.6%, while South Korea's Kospi fell 2%, following a sharp sell-off on Wall Street overnight. On Thursday, Spain's borrowing cost at an auction of 10-year bonds was almost 7% - a level seen as unsustainable.
Markets await details of how the size eurozone bailout fund will be increased to 1tn euros (£855bn, $1.3tn).
There are fears that European leaders may be unable to agree a specific way to boost the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), although they have agreed in principle for the need to do this.

Fast forward three and a half months, Republicans now want to use the Super Committee report as a vehicle for making all the Bush tax cuts permanent. But compared to current law, that scores as an even bigger tax cut — it drops trillions of dollars in projected revenue off a cliff.
So to make the math work out, they want to revert to what’s known as a “current policy baseline.” Since the Bush tax cuts are in effect right now (i.e. they’re “current policy”), extending them forever is budget neutral compared to that baseline. The only difference, as far as deficits are concerned, is about $4 trillion over the next decade. But what’s $4 trillion between friends?
This isn’t about reducing deficits. It’s about getting what they want regardless of the actual state of the federal budget.
